I haven't adjusted the carbs for a long time. As there aren't many moving parts in them, once they're set up, they stay pretty consistent. I did have mine overhauled by a colleague a few years back, this wasn't expensive and was a maintenance thing as I had them off to fix the Oil pressure sender anyway. The only niggles with them are they don't drive very cleanly when cold. I don't tend to use choke as it doesn't really need it and I had it stick on a couple of times (lack of use) so I leave it alone. There is a stabiliser bar that goes from the underneath of the carbs to the bottom of the block (as the carbs are rubber mounted) and I had to replace that once. Other than that 10 years of trouble free motoring.
If only the bodywork was as well engineered as the oily bits.......
I'm off home to paint the floor in the garage ready for the arrival of Alfa No. 2
